McClure, TriStar Motorsports’ regular driver, was admitted to a local hospital on Aug. 12 where he was diagnosed after a series of tests with acute renal failure. With his creatinine levels rising, this signaled improper kidney function.

“This has been a very challenging week for me, both physically and emotionally," McClure said. “Having a newborn and four other little girls, among other things, has also presented a challenge to my family.”

While McClure is currently hospitalized, he is receiving treatment and has high hopes for a speedy recovery and release. His current status remains week-to-week.

“Recovery can be a slow and frustrating process,” McClure said. “But thankfully we are seeing signs of healing. I can’t thank everyone enough for all of the prayers, thoughts, and well-wishes during this difficult time, and I can’t wait to be back behind the wheel of the Hefty/Reynolds Camry.”
